We've been doing this samba-styled Hallelujah del Sur ever since I experienced it on retreat with David Poole at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. This and other wonderful music for worship can be found at http://davidepoole.com/id506.html. It's well worth the $100 flat fee to license all the music from Casa del Sol.
